then when I tried to load the package following the documentation:

I'm familiar with Perl and new to Ruby. I'm obviously not addressing

Perl coders beware: ruby does not automatically pick up packages
because you specified them in the file; you
have to load such as "-rubygems". See Chapter 3 of the Ruby Gems
manual.
My error was not running gems. For a script, example:
ruby -rubygems jlpooletest1.rb
I was able to run my test script -- though my output placed a test
address 30 miles out of town.
It would be helpful to have some examples that show a way to get a
higher precision.

Can you give me a sample of how you were inputting the address? Was
it as a single string or a hash with the pieces broken out?

Here's my ruby script:
require 'text'
require 'geocoder/us'
db = Geocoder::US::Database.new("/var/work/tiger/geocoder.db")
p db.geocode("2133 First Street, Napa, CA")
# try a valid intersection
p db.geocode("First & Jefferson, Napa, CA")
# try an intersection that does not exist
p db.geocode("First & Third, Napa, CA")
here's my output:
hermes geocoder # ruby -rubygems jlpooletest1.rb
zip results 2
[{:city=>"Napa", :precision=>:city, :fips_county=>"06055", :lon=>"-122.311921", :zip=>"94558", :score=>0.506, :lat=>"38.516158", :state=>"CA"}]

Incidentally, using sqlitebrowser, I checked the database and tables
features, features-edge, and range were empty. I'm confident at least
range should have values. So I'm going to start anew and document my
changes and warning error messages. In my hurry to get to the end, I
did not methodically document what I had done to get the end.
Obviously, one of the warnings was a fatal one in terms of the
database not being fully populated.
The project I'm working on that is driving this: being able to insert
two streets and if there is a valid intersection, returning the
coordinates thereof.
